Jones: ‘Under no circumstances’ will there be a coaching change

Speaking on his weekly radio show Thursday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave coach Wade Phillips a strong vote of confidence.

“Under no circumstances would I make a (coaching) change,” Jones told KRLD-FM in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to the Dallas Morning News. “We’ve got a chance to get a lot of things done and we’ve got a lot of football left to play and we’ve got some good people that not only can play it but coach it.”

Jones said the New York Giants proved two years ago that it pays to be patient.

“Two years ago the Giants were seemingly not in disarray but they were in trouble,” Jones said. “It was also absolutely expected that something was going to happen with the coach, Coughlin. Maybe during the year but something was going to happen and had to go. And of course (Eli) Manning was on the hotseat and would never be a winner. Well, that same year they won the Super Bowl. You’ve got to be mindful that this is a long, long journey so to speak … A lot can happen from the beginning to the end.”
